We maintain a "closed cycle" at our farm. The farm produces the amendments necessary to maintain soil fertility... Deacon Vale Farm is certified organic on Mayne Island where we raise beef, chickens, hay, and prepare speciality bottled products including jams, chutneys, and sauces... Deacon Vale Farm is a small family run farm on Mayne Island, British Columbia. Since 1995, the farm has been owned and operated by two families - the Abbotts and the McDougalls. The valley itself has a long farming history dating back to 1870 when a Prussian immigrant named Jacob Heck successfully worked the land. His approach to farming was to not concentrate on single crops but rather use a more healthy mixed crop rotation.
